As a working mom who travels often I am always trying to better streamline my day and make my life more efficient. I’ve learned to do this out of necessity, but it has created so many more hours in my day that I can then spend with my family so it is definitely well worth it. Sometimes it’s the little things in life though that we don’t realize are sucking away precious hours. During my last cycle as I sat on my bed cursing what we as women have to deal with every month; it hit me just how many hours are wasted on something that should be way easier. Then I came across THINX and I was floored. I couldn’t believe there was something that not only took out all the wasted hours of buying feminine hygiene products, but a product that really revolutionizes your period.

What would you do with an extra $4 a month? Probably not a lot right? You can’t even buy a meal at a fast food restaurant for that, but when you take that $4 and pool it together with more people it starts to become a pretty substantial number. Did you know that $4 a month is all that’s needed to make a big impact with Utah schools?

One of my main concerns as a parent is to make sure I am teaching my children correct principles. There is so much they need to learn, during the fleeting years I have them in my home, that at times it is almost overwhelming. And yet, perhaps, I was given these children not just to teach, but to also learn from. Children have a wisdom born of innocence that I think we can all learn from. When I stop to think of all the lessons my small children have taught me in the last few years, I am truly humbled. Here are the TOP 5:

School is in full swing and I couldn’t be happier to see my little learners get back to expanding their horizons and soaking in new information. Starting the new school year can be a time of great excitement… and anxiety for kids and parents. Back to school can be tough even on the most prepared parents. And for kids it can be hard to go from a summer of doing nothing to a school year packed with things to do. So I wanted to share with you today some of my favorite products and services to help the school year go a little more smoothly and to make your life as a parent easier.

I am just amazed by technology sometimes. I can’t believe some of the things we have nowadays. I am always so excited to see the new things my kids get to experience that weren’t even a thought when I was growing up. They have so many new and incredible tools to help them learn and grow. One of these tools recently just blew me away! I love reading with my kids and I love to see their excitement as they really get interested in a story, but this is taken to a whole new level with Little Hippo® Books. Not only does Little Hippo Books have some amazingly cute titles, but they have a little extra surprise in store for your kiddos. These books are brought to life with Augmented Reality! That’s right with the Hippo Magic app. you can make the Little Hippo Book come to life.
